The GOP senators will be bribed...McCain says he will support this new effort. We should have fought for the ACA...now we will get nothing ...no ACA and no single payer. It would take a super majority to pass Medical for all...we had a shot but blew by putting out this bill that has no chance of passing. Don't forget to tell those who will die without care how much more important it was to get people talking about single payer.
